God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Self-righteousness is a sense of moral superiority that appoints us as prosecutor of other people's sinfulness. We relate to others as if we are incapable of the sins they commit. Self-righteousness wages war against mercy.
Our ever-changing culture needs the never-changing Christ who alone can provide both the foundation and direction for Christian faith and practice as the church faces the challenges of a new era.
